Pair Vintage Royal Fleet Auxilliary Epaulettes by HARVEYS, LONDON.
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) became crucial in WWII, evolving from its 1905 origins as a civilian-crewed logistical support for the Royal Navy (RN), providing vital at-sea replenishment (fuel, ammo, stores) as ships stayed at sea longer, especially far from bases, necessitating the development of replenishment at sea (RAS) techniques, and shifting from just colliers/store ships to a diverse fleet essential for global RN operations, even with some RFA vessels being requisitioned merchant ships.
